No, it is not. Salt water is NaCl and H2O, while ethanol is C2H5OH.

Is salt soluble in ethanol?

Yes, salt (sodium chloride) is soluble in ethanol and will dissolve to form a solution. However, the solubility of salt in ethanol is lower compared to its solubility in water.


Is salt and ethanol a heterogenous solution before mixing?

Almost no salt will dissolve in pure ethanol. If salt is added to a solution of ethanol and water, which are miscible, it may form a homogenous solution without being stirred.


Why does water dissolve more salt than ethanol?

Water is polar, and so is salt (because it's ionic and therefore polar by definition.) So salt dissolves easily in water, because in chemistry, "like dissolves like." Ethanol is non-polar (because it's a hydrocarbon, and they're all non-polar.) So water and ethanol won't dissolve in each other. Nor will ethanol dissolve salt.


Salt or sugar what dissolves in ethanol?

No, Salt will not dissolve because the Ethanol is less dense then the salt so in order to make it dissolve u have to have a greater density then a smaller density. Ex. Sugar and water. When you stir it mixes and mixes all of the particles together. And same for the Sugar.

Is ethanol a salt?

No, ethanol is not a salt. Ethanol is a type of alcohol that is commonly used as a solvent in various products. Salt, on the other hand, is a compound formed from the reaction of an acid and a base, typically consisting of positive and negative ions.


What is soluble and what is insoluble?

Soluble substances: table salt in water, sugar in water, potassium carbonate in water, etc.Insoluble substances: table salt in acetone, silver in ethanol, barium sulfate in water.


Which has a greater volume 1000g of water or 1000g of denatured ethanol?

1000g of water has a greater volume than 1000g of denatured ethanol because water is denser than ethanol. This means that water occupies less space per gram compared to ethanol.


Water and ethanol can be separated by heating the ethanol until it boils away from the water What type of change is this?

This is a physical change because the identity of the substances (water and ethanol) remains the same. The change is reversible, as both water and ethanol can be recovered from the separated mixture.


Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?

Ethanol expands more than water when heated because it has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion. This means that ethanol will increase in volume more than water when heated to the same temperature.


Is water with added salt the same as ocean salt water?

Only if the concentration is the same.


Does salt dissolves?

Whether something dissolves depends on the temperature and the solvent. For example, common salt will dissolve well in water but not at all in ethanol.
